    Default How to Get a Copy of a Mugshot

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

    Now that the family member is in State Prison for reception...is it possible to get a copy of his mugshot form an online source, or perhaps the county jail?

    Or is that not considered public info?

    Thanks.

    Collecting family photos? Try searching his name for an online mugshot. You can always make a public info request.

    Google his name. A lot of sites have mugshots.

    Yes, you can request a photo of the mugshot per GC 6254(f) (part of the California Public Records Act).
